On October 18, the 7th (2024) China Medical Device Innovation and Entrepreneurship Competition-Industrial Transformation Special Competition was successfully held in Tianjin. The competition is jointly sponsored by the National Medical Device Industry Technology Innovation Alliance, Tianjin Food and Drug Administration, Tianjin Xiqing District People’s Government and the Medical Device Innovation Network. It aims to promote the innovation and development of the medical device industry, promote the transformation of scientific and technological achievements into industry, and accelerate the high-quality development of my country’s medical device industry.
Wuhan Half the Sky, with its independently developed minimally invasive-intelligent medical surgery system, stood out among more than 20 innovative final projects with its outstanding innovation and outstanding clinical applicability, and won the second prize in the industrial transformation special competition of the 7th (2024) China Medical Device Innovation and Entrepreneurship Competition, which once again demonstrated the company’s strong strength in the field of minimally invasive medical devices.
During the road show of the competition, Liu Feige, senior project manager of Wuhan Half the Sky, introduced in detail Wuhan Half the Sky’s comprehensive surgical system solutions as it moves from the era of minimally invasive surgery to the era of intelligent surgery.
Wuhan Half the Sky Minimally Invasive – Intelligent Medical Surgical System includes the company’s minimally invasive energy platform (radio frequency, ultrasound, rotational incision, laser, etc.), minimally invasive surgical instruments (radio frequency ultrasonic cutters, needle hook forceps and scissors, anastomotic hemostatic sutures, urinary tract and other high-value consumables) and the continuous development of intelligent surgical systems. Tongmai’s surgical robot end effectors, pelvic floor rehabilitation robots and other series of products involve 18 core authorized inventions of the company, more than 60 invention patents that have entered actual review, more than 100 utility model patent authorizations, as well as multiple software copyrights and medical device registration certificates.
▲Minimally invasive surgical instruments → Radiofrequency ultrasound dual-energy platform and its accessories
The plan focuses on Wuhan Half the Sky’s research and development results and new technology applications in the fields of minimally invasive surgical instruments and intelligent surgical instruments, and makes a comprehensive plan for the future development of medical surgical instruments. These include a series of high-value consumables in the minimally invasive-intelligent medical surgical system, as well as the recently promoted visual endoscopic surgical instruments, multi-energy cross-operated surgical instruments, intelligent sensor remote control systems, magnetic navigation systems, etc., which comprehensively demonstrate the company’s ambition to become a leader in the supply of minimally invasive to intelligent medical surgical instruments!
▲Minimally invasive medical surgical instruments → Gynecological radiofrequency treatment instrument
▲Intelligent medical surgical instruments → Pelvic floor rehabilitation medical surgical robot system
With its profound technical accumulation and excellent on-site performance, the Wuhan Half the Sky project team won high praise from the judges.
After fierce competition, Wuhan Half the Sky finally won the second prize in the industrial transformation special competition of the 7th (2024) China Medical Device Innovation and Entrepreneurship Competition. This honor is not only a full recognition of Wuhan Half the Sky’s innovative achievements in the field of surgical systems, but also a high recognition of its outstanding contribution in promoting the import substitution of domestic medical devices.
The successful holding of this medical device innovation competition fully demonstrated the vigorous development trend of my country’s medical device field. It not only provided a platform for display and communication for medical innovators in the industry, but also stimulated the innovation enthusiasm and vitality of the entire medical device field.
In the future, under the leadership of General Manager Qiu Xuewen, Wuhan Half the Sky will continue to focus on the innovative research and development and industrial transformation of minimally invasive to intelligent medical surgical instruments with the mission of “healthy half the sky, benefiting all mankind”, continue to launch more new products with independent intellectual property rights and clinical application value, provide clinicians with more advanced and comprehensive minimally invasive and intelligent medical surgical system solutions, and make greater contributions to the sustainable and healthy development of my country’s medical device industry.
